My Final Year

Tomorrow I will be entering my final year of High school, Year 11. I study German, Geography and Physical Education and in a matter of months, I will be taking my final exams before heading off to Sixth Form. I am quite nervous for the exams but I know if I put in the work then I will get my desired results. High school has been a strenuous five years and I am more than excited to be leaving.

"LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN!"

Keep Organised

Make sure to hand every piece of work in on time and complete work the night it is set, so that you can have a stress free year and more spare time on weekends. Get a planner so that you can write down all of your exams dates, when you have to study, and when you have homework due. Time management is essential. If you're given an assignment that's due next week, don't procrastinate, get started within a few days of receiving it.The more time you have, the less you will be stressed.

Study. Study. Study

Try to study in 20-50 minute intervals, taking five or ten minutes in between for a break.Breaking your studying into shorter periods of time will make it less of a chore also give yourself time to absorb the material before moving on. Make sure work is done before socialising, studying is a crucial part of learning, so do the work before heading out to have fun.

Be Optimistic

Being optimistic is always good. Seeing only the negative aspects of any situation can cause you to miss opportunities and neglectproblems that need to be solved. Look for the light at the end of the tunnel and start seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty.
